Chapter: I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle - Extras
We are pleased to announce yet another Christmas Week of Updates!
A story comic will be released this Thursday. Then, come back on Saturday night for a new comic every day, for seven days!
A whole bunch of great stuff is going to happen this week, folks. You won’t want to miss it!
if moonshine affected Jean’s powers, imagine what eggnog’ll do to her.
It wasn’t the alcohol itself, it was the fact that the moonshine included some unknown and potentially dangerous ingredients.
But still, given that Jeannie does crazy and occasionally disastrous things even when cold sober, the prospect of a seriously drunken Jeannie is pretty frightening.
You got that right! Imagine how many guys might get ka-girl’d during a drunken Jeanie bender! That would be a wonderful disaster to watch.
Less wonderful now we’ve been faced with the repercussions of those transformations, I’d say.
@Robert: Not to mention what might happen to the guys that tried to hit on her while she was drunk. There are probably even worse places to be sent to, than Omaha beach on D-Day.
It’s the of the quality control of the equipment and how well its cleaned that you are using in the making of the moonshine that counts.
@Odd Duck: I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the words, “quality control” or “cleaning” mentioned in connection with moonshine before. What strange concepts you have!
@Kattgirl: Actually, there are several stories circulating round. Ferex, there was apparently a trial at some point, where the still was shown to the judge and jury, who all agreed it was one of the finest pieces of coppersmithing they’d ever seen. (Due, i think, to the shiner having taken shop classes at a local tradeschool.)
And shiners who want to keep their customers are careful to throw away the first swallow or two from each batch, because it contains the lower-boiling point methanol, which can make you go blind, etc.
Finally, there are craftsmen in every field, so there are indeed shiners who take pride in their product, and would sell it openly if it were not illegal.
At one time – back in the Fifties – i remember Public Service radio spots with Tennessee Ernie Ford {airing in South Carolina, at least} warning that more than a few moonshiners were using automobile radiators as condensers, which contaminated the product with lead salts from the solder used to make them.
I remember seeing photos of a couple of stills that had a number of radiators in series, submerged in a big water bath.
Whoopee! Love this time of year! Thanks, CD!
Awww, no thanks for the tireless intern? :pout:
Aw, Robert! Don’t think that we don’t appreciate you! You’re essential! Kisses!

(I wanted my comment to just be that, as a way of saying “Your comment made me smile”. Which it did. But due to spam rules we implemented a while back, I had to make my comment longer.)
Well. 0_0 That’s …. interesting.
Having a genie that loves you is only slightly better than having one that hates you based on IDOJ from the sixties.
I think sometimes the two would be hard to tell apart.
Can’t wait for this Thursday. BTW add a little brandy and Ground Cinnamon to the eggnog and see what happen!
And for Kringle’s sake, don’t use the crap that comes out of a milk carton.
Here’s Alton Brown’s recipe, from altonbrown dot com
/eggnog-recipe/
He recommends letting it age for at least a week or two. He also notes that it has a lot of booze in it, which helps kill any bacteria that might be lurking in the uncooked eggs.
I confess I have not tried this recipe. I do not typically keep rum, cognac, and bourbon on hand, but I might make an exception.
Wait, is she holding a…ah, no, it’s a remote. nevermind.
@50s: Huh… I didn’t realize they came off. What, for cleaning purposes, I guess, like disassembling a pistol?
What sort of cleaning oil do you use with that?
Well, I wrap mine in one of these sorta floppy balloony kinda thing, so cleaning isn’t a problem.
And if the balloony thingy breaks, well the dog likes to lick it clean.
Is it Thursday yet? BTW Jeanie looks a little flush in the face.
Just one more day! 🙂
Catch ya on the flip side, then.
Now, is that Neil, in costume, with his arm around a somewhat drunk Jean?
I see that Neil is listed on the strip.
Those are definitely Neil’s eyes.
One can imagine Neil coming in dressed as Santa from the office Christmas party, and too tired to change collapses on the couch arm over the back. Jean comes in, drunk on Nog and wanting to watch a Christmas movie/show. She sits down and her subconscious takes over and she starts cuddling in.
With CD’s internet problem, will we see a strip tonight?
Doubt it. From what I read seems we have to wait till the useage cap resets.
Good ole corporate america – making scarcity where there isnt any – huge profit – shit customer service – damn it the Balkans have better internet service – they are mountainous countries using cable and switches bought from Canadian manufacturers IIRC.
Yes, actually. All of the Christmas Week of Updates strips are already done and scheduled to go up. That’s why I know that you won’t want to miss them. 🙂
I was looking at some trivia the other day, and i found out that the original bottle on the TV series was a Jim Beam decanter, painted by the prop department…
